of the following questions. (12.5 points)
Shopping is a necessary part of our life. Some people shop for pleasure while other
people go shopping just to buy the necessary items. The weekend is usually a good time
to go shopping because people have free time. At this time the shops are usually very
busy because people try to get the best items for the lowest price before the item runs out of stock.
Some people go shopping more regularly than others to browse products even when
they do not have much money. This is known as window shopping. Some people spend
a lot of time looking for bargains while others do not think of the price and are happy to
spend a lot. Some people believe that the more expensive the item, the better the quality,
but this is not always true. It is sensible to buy items which are affordable.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift for a special occasion. It is
common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping themselves
at their own convenience. Shopping online is often popular with people who have a busy
lifestyle. The only problem is that the item description and quality may be different than what they hoped for.
